That was not my intention.
Some of this discussion may also be found over on the Reefknot mailing
list. When things were not progressing very effectively here, most of
the actual work moved over to the reefknot project, which produced
excellent code for about a year, and then somewhat evaporated.
My remarks were merely intended to point out that an awful lot of time
and bits are being wasted on this mailing list discussing the same
things over and over again. I'm sorry if you bore the brunt of my
frustration on that point. I will attempt to direct my rants a little
better in the future. ;-)
